Synopsis :

A handbook for aspiring actors, written by two of the best-known actors in the country. This informative and entertaining book offers practical advice and do's and don'ts to anyone thinking of taking up acting. Both authors are passionate about actor training, know the profession inside out and, as they say in their intro, have more than a hundred years' experience between them!

Writing alternate paragraphs throughout the book - and frequently contradicting each other! - they cover the whole gamut from * Applying to drama school * Auditioning * Training * Working in unpaid productions * Doing 'bits' on telly etc etc and on up to * Getting an agent and * Enduring a West End run - should you be so lucky.

This handy but pleasantly unstuffy manual is essential reading - or an essential gift! - for any aspiring actor.
